Rex’s lexicon was so Canadian and he was a wit like none other. He could rip apart any one with such grace. He’s a much loved and missed Canadian icon.

I miss Rex’s voice too! He was always so much fun to read. I thought of him as a real wordsmith.

The CBC has been a black hole of logic since Rex Murphy left.

Well written, Dr. Les. Rex Murphy was one of a kind and a great journalist and writer. I liked how he told it the way it was, like it or not. He could spin words like no other. Not many can wear his shoes these days.
